Come here to discuss film, review film, and love film! I will be reviewing (or trying to review) every film I see as regularly as possible for all you budding film fans out there who are as obssessed with movies as I am! Although I may hate a film that everyone else sems to like please do remember that it is simply an opinion, and not to be taken too seriously!Very rarely does a day go by without me watching a film and I love the idea of keeping a record of what I have seen!

Savage Grace - 2007 **

'Sensual and Decadent' this film has been quoted as. So I must have missed something. Sad really because I was looking forward to seeing this as I had done some research on the case earlier.
There was nothing sensual about this story, and even Julianne Moore could not save the day in her portrayal of the mentally unhinged Barbara Daly Baekland who went down in the annuals of true crime as the murder victim of her schizophrenic son Tony.
The true story is interesting, but the film doesn't appear to cover much about the growing incestuous relationship between Barbara and Tony 9apart from a horrible scene towards the end which we really didn't need to see.) I didn't see much regarding Tony's ever changing mental state which would ultimately be his undoing, more that he was simply sexually provocative.
For information it's best to go online and read up in detail about the story instead of watching this.

About Me

This is my third blog, and although it will not be accessed as regularly as my film one, I am still going to try my hardest to list every book I read. This is not meant to be a discussion blog, simply a place for my own reviews based on literature I have read.
